Mirror, Mirror (Sargenti, 1990): BFI Southbank, NFT3, 8.45pm


This film will be introduced by the 'Final Girls'.

BFI Southbank introduction:
Shy teen goth Megan Gordon (Harvest) moves into a new house in suburban Los Angeles with her recently widowed mother Susan (Black). While exploring her new surroundings, she finds an antique mirror that seemingly belonged to the previous owners of the house. Not quite fitting in, and endlessly bullied by her classmates, Megan discovers she can use the mirror to enact revenge on her tormentors, which sets her on a dark and dangerous path... This female-scripted and directed gothic slasher looks at the toxic lifecycle of bullying and teenage despair, and marked the last major role of enigmatic actress (and Winona Ryder look-a-like) Rainbow Harvest.


Here (and above) is the trailer.
